Isra Hirsi, the daughter of Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, made a statement on Thursday asserting that she had been subjected to a “suspension” from Barnard College as a result of her pro-Palestinian activism.
In a tweet, Hirsi mentioned that she had never faced any form of reprimand or “disciplinary warnings” prior to this purported suspension.
She attributed this action to her unwavering support for Palestinians who are enduring a genocide, and also claimed that two other students had received suspensions for comparable reasons.
i’m an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3 years at @BarnardCollege i have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings
i just received notice that i am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.

those of us in Gaza Solidarity Encampment will not be intimidated. we will stand resolute until our demands are met.
our demands include divestment from companies complicit in genocide, transparency of @Columbia’s investments and FULL amnesty for all students facing repression

Hirsi was allegedly taken into custody due to her reluctance to vacate an unauthorized anti-Israel camp at Columbia University, as reported by the Daily Wire.
Images posted by Twitter user Shayoni Mitra purportedly depict Hirsi being accompanied by law enforcement, supporting this assertion.
It felt really really horrific to be standing by and watching students, so so many of whom I knew, being arrested.

Protest Genocide?
Start with the genocide here at home!
Now deport her
Strip them of US citizenship permanently 1st, then deport the whole lying clan! They defrauded INS to get here in the 1st place!
It’s long past time the universities rejected and chastised this kind of behavior and hate rhetoric! As for the “Palestinians” suffering genocide, perhaps they are, but if so (it’s hard to get honest anything from Muslims because of taqqiya and kitman), it’s what the Gazans themselves voted for, NOT the direct fault of Israel,or anyone but Hamas!
it’s not Homicide, it’s HAMAcide
was going to say it’s illegal, but the College is private not a pinko government supported institution so it’s legal to wait until a student learms a moral lesson. and the College will remain “Demon Spawnless” until she learns something worth practicing
